I just talked with Colin for a bit, just sat there and told him everything. Just stuff about life, and school and the like. Anything to avoid going back into the cabin, with her. A set of identical twins walked past us, looking about 15 at the most. They took one look at me, one look at the cabin, one look at each other, before turning back to me.

Twin number one spoke first, looking at me as if I was a wounded animal, "Are you the one" She stopped mid-sentence, and I barely had time to acknowledge it before twin 2 spoke next "who has to share with". She stopped again, before both speaking at the same time, "Princess?"

"Uhh, yeah, you've met her before then?" I asked. "I'm Faith by the way, and this is my brother, Colin." Colin made a sort of salute with his forefingers. "I'm Josie, this is Mary" Twin number 2 (or should I say Josie) replied. "And yeah, she comes every year, "Daddy's little girl", someone just has to put up with her every year." she added in just a slight sarcasm.

The dinner bell sounded and we waved goodbye, and made our way to our respective sectors. Each sector contained the people who had come here before, so sector one was newbies like me and Colin, and as such was the biggest sector. Sector 2 contained people who were on their second year. Third sector = three years, etc. Leading all the way up to sector 5, containing the twins, Candice, and a couple of others.

Colin and I sat down at an empty table. We were immediately joined two boys, one tall, skinny, and muscular, with short black hair. The other just slightly taller than me, an average build, and brown hair. Colin fist-bumped the tall one, as they sat down. "Hey, Faith, this is my cabin partner Ben" indicating the brown-haired boy, "and his friend Jason." Jason waved from across the table. The boys started talking, and laughing, and I tried to ignore them as best I could. Then a small, freckly girl stood next to the table. "Umm, could I sit here?" She asked me. She looked around fourteen, the same age as Colin, Ben, and Jason. "Yeah, sure!" I replied, thankful that I wouldn't have to sit in silence for the entirety of dinner. She introduced herself as Sophie, and we ended up talking about life and school for the rest of dinner.

The end of dinner bell sounded, and we all proceeded to head back to our cabins. I saw Candice shouting at one of the instructors, something about food poisoning. "Good riddance" I thought to myself. I stepped into the empty cabin, and immediately saw that the tape line, and all mention of pink had vanished. "Well, she's an efficient worker," I thought. I fell to my bed, and fell asleep in my clothes. I slept a soundless sleep. At least, I did before the scream...
